Dem candidate pocketed payouts

did you not read the whole article? or only the parts that disinterested you?


During that time, the firm raked in more than $2 million in fees from local agencies over which Booker has influence.


Which agencies? What did Booker do to steer the agencies to his former firm? Did Booker's compensation come from the fees paid by these agencies or only from the fees paid by his former clients that the firm retained? Were these agencies part of the Newark city government? If not, what "influence" over them does Booker have? If they are, were they clients of the firm before Booker became mayor? If so, what did Booker do?
 
He'll win the Senate seat barring some major scandal (like, a real scandal involving hookers and cocaine type thing). I'm guessing he has higher aspirations, but he'll likely wait a few years.

Sorta sad that you have such low standards for your politicians.

Lefty - Check

Black - check

Apparently that is all you guys need
 
he invested in the firm.

He left the firm some years later.

They are returning his investment in the firm.

This is really an A-1 rant.
 
He's your basic centrist Wall Street/hedge fund Democrat. Not a liberal by any reasonable definition of the term. I'd go so far as to say that he lacks any core principles save the promotion of Cory Booker, which dovetails nicely (for him) with the desire for corporate intersts to have their man in the U.S. Senate.

Saw this on Booker today.

What Does Silicon Valley Win by Backing Cory Booker?

It's more than political capital -- ideological capital matters, too.

The main problem I have with that piece is that it assumes that Silicon Valley is backing Booker because of his ideological stances withouth the whiff of suggestion that Booker has said ideological stances because they just oh so fortunately happen to align with the ideological stances of people with lots and lots of money that are more than willing to give it to him. Kind of a chicken-egg thing, but let's get real.

Also, too, you should check out some of the reporting on who funded Booker's campaign for Mayor of Newark. I mean, why the fuck would Wall Street be so damned concerned about fucking Newark?
